Based on looks, charasmatic, handsome features James Norton looks like a strong candidate imo

I don't think Aaron Taylor Johnson can do it as I read he's signed on to do more of those terrible Kraven movies for tons of Marvel cash.

Put a few shekels on ATJ for the lay and backed Jack Lowden.

Regardless I think Amazon will fuk this franchise sideways and probably turn Bond in to non-binary trans fridge magnet.

I was sort of hoping Amazon might inject some life into the franchise. It's gone stale, and it feels to me like Mission: Impossible is more like James Bond used to be. That's where it needs to go.

I don't think the last 2 Mission Impossible movies have been great. They re-wrote the entire last one after how the first in the Reckoning series performed at the box office. In general though I think it has been a great franchise.

I think Amazon are great at Amazon things. Which is not currently rebranding a legendary film franchise. I think they will treat James Bond as any VC company would with limited experience. Strip down the product for parts and try to squeeze every last drop of cash out of it. So, as well as a rushed out movie every year or two we will probably get various characters in that split off in to their own worlds via various series.

I hope they don't and that I'm wrong. Grew up watching the old Bonds at xmas with my grandfather. Nothing but fond memories. Enjoyed some of the newer Bonds too.
